Tonedeff - Narcissus lyrics
[Tonedeff - Narcissus lyrics]
Look at me look at you
Looking at me looking at you
Looking at me looking at me
Looking at you looking at you
Life’s a house of mirrors -
I’m hooked to the view
I wipe em down to clear em
- I’m pushing up through
A thousand idle copies of me
Smushed in a room
Bluer than Jonathan Osterman’s and
I’m just as aloof
A crowd of identical twins I
Mistook as a crew
I found that I can’t count on myself
Need onlooker approval let’s hammer it home
Shatter my sense of self
A fragmented soul, I’m the emptiest shell
No courtesy from love - so
I measure this wealth
In the currency of lust -
And I'm spending it well
I’m your heaven or hell
Echoed sentiments swell
As you beg me to mention your name
Heckle and yell
Girls in their dresses worshiping mirrors
Live for the spotlight won't you come near us
Boys serve as minions, ready to serve as the
Cameras give life to the death on the surface
It’s all about me
Come with us fuck a thousand words I could
Spend it on one picture
Plunge to drown your thirst and pretend
I'm a mug - sip up! Drunken off the curves
Till you’re bent into submission
Listen! Your thumbprint is a drug
To our numbed senses
In love with our reflection - it’s
Us! It’s an obsession -
We’re stuck - in the sum of our ourselves
Publish the self as something to sell
An addiction to wishing that
We were somebody else
Now, if you follow along
Well then you can follow me back
If you’ve got me all in your paws
You’re within the palm of my hand
If you got a comment
Then all of it better be positive -
Act up and you will be barred - I am
God and this pixel facade is my chapel
The rapture within an app
I read your responses and laugh
Please throw your hearts in the basket
Scream to all that you tapped
It then pass it along
Authors of captions craft me a psalm
- like I am an icon
Refreshing! I'm a symbol of my status
Looking at me looking at you
Looking at me looking at me
Looking at you looking at you
Life’s a house of mirrors -
I’m hooked to the view
I wipe em down to clear em
- I’m pushing up through
A thousand idle copies of me
Smushed in a room
Bluer than Jonathan Osterman’s and
I’m just as aloof
A crowd of identical twins I
Mistook as a crew
I found that I can’t count on myself
Need onlooker approval let’s hammer it home
Shatter my sense of self
A fragmented soul, I’m the emptiest shell
No courtesy from love - so
I measure this wealth
In the currency of lust -
And I'm spending it well
I’m your heaven or hell
Echoed sentiments swell
As you beg me to mention your name

Girls in their dresses worshiping mirrors
Live for the spotlight won't you come near us
Boys serve as minions, ready to serve as the
